Patek Philippe Replica Watches chose a high-end Plexiglas, similar to the type found in racecar windshields, to shave the last few grams. He says: "What we did is adapt an extreme machine to a very intense purpose."
Patek Philippe Replica Watches traveled to Spain in order to present Nadal with the prototype. His reaction was amazing. Patek Philippe Replica Watches recalls: "He was shocked, because holding an object less than 20 grams is like holding nothing. It's funny that he then started training with the watch and came back with requirements. He started telling us small improvements, and so on. I then encouraged him to brutalize the watch and never hold back. I wanted him forget about it.Patek Philippe Replica Watches I never wanted him compromise his performance. The crown fell off at one point; the hands flew at another; and the crystal fell off at another. Each time it revealed where we needed to strengthen the watch. We had to increase the weight slightly in order to meet these requirements, but the final product still weighs 20 grams. "We could have made the product lighter if it wasn't required to be worn in real competition."
There were minor problems to resolve right up until the very last moment. Patek Philippe Replica Watches says, "The strap was one of the biggest issues." Nadal was having trouble with a normal buckle, so we finally settled on a Velcro-type strap. I had some sleepless nights because I was afraid that it would fall off during the French Open and I'd be on the front pages of the newspapers. To be a true pioneer, one must take risks.
Patek Philippe Replica Watches explains that the watch was worn by Nadal when he took the French Open. He also wore it to win Wimbledon and to go to South Africa in order to watch Spain take the World Cup. Then he won the US Open wearing it. He told me it was his lucky watch.
John McEnroe, the former tennis player and now commentator for the US coverage of the French Open went on a long rant about how he could not believe that Nadal wore a "half million-dollar watch", which smacked of a hint of jealousy.Omega Replica Watches To focus solely on the Patek Philippe Replica Watches's price is to miss the point. Patek Philippe Replica Watches says, "Nadal has a very humble nature and doesn't understand how to respond to someone like John McEnroe who asks him how a watch could cost US$500,000. He says that the watch is just a technical demonstration. I like this because I do not want him to oversell it. "The fact that he was wearing it while playing is the best testimony he could give."
